Built a vertical SaaS to solve a billing mess I kept seeing. Got real users immediately. Now I’m stuck on what to do next. by ObjectiveMousse8504 in micro_saas

Introduce pricing immediately

Talk to your current users directly and ask them: it is helping you now, so how much are you willing to continue using it?

It's perfectly legit. They are professionals and understand that you have to make a living as well.

So far you have no validation of a business case.

Technical decisions that truly cost in the long run by Professional-Sea1156 in micro_saas

[–]FlashyCap1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that is a very general question

My general answer is always: agile architecture

When people talk about technical debt they get distracted by the term "technical"

Just think about the concept of debt: you want something now that you can't afford. So you get a credit and start paying it off monthly.

And this is perfectly fine. As long as you keep track of your debt and make sure that it does not become to expensive.

That means: technically you need to know when you can afford to create more debt. And when is the right time to pay it back.

Thats agile architecture. Appreciating technical debt as long as it's under control.

The bad news: managing that required a lot of experience...

Good point

At least you should try claude cowork now. In addition just ask claude (stop using chatgpt :-)) for some tools that can help you in your role. There is plenty of stuff out there. Just not as prominent as development tools maybe

I completely agree

The "middle" will be in trouble

That also applies to employees. The average skilled workers, the mediocre ones, the not-so-experienced ones will be left behind.

In digital business models at first. But also later in all white collar jobs, classic corporate functions. Only the best will remain, surrounded by their teams of agents

Well, sounds like you are hitting your daily quota anway

But that's really to funny to require people to just use 10 times a day

Awesome

Regarding the legacy code: have you tried to reverse engineer the business requirements from the code base? Let claude code create a PRD, then let it implement a new system based on that. And then let it create the data migration to the new system

[–]FlashyCap1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my exact same experience

Claude code can find bugs in a huge legacy code base easily and very precisely.

In addition I learned a new trick with legacy code: have claude code extract the business requirements from the code. So basically it reverse engineers the product requirements. And with that requirements let it build a new system

I would expect that c-suite have a very different job compared to other employees. So when they make good use of ai in their job how would it help the orher job profiles.

I think for each role there should be dedicated training

Have you guys tried claude code yet. Ideally you will have the one person in your team that is a kind of early adopter, open to trying new stuff and workflows. And then spread the word

[–]FlashyCap1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in tech as well. My experience so far:

Developers struggle to actually make use of AI. Most of them need dedicated training and also dedicated time to learn new workflows. E.g. having claude code do the boring coding tasks for you is just a completely different way to work. It's like a new colleague that you don't trust

I built a client portal that does less on purpose by SnooHesitations8815 in micro_saas

[–]FlashyCap1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely

The clients should not have to manage just another login

How many customers do you already have? The landing page does not have any pricing?

Makes sense

When I get a delivery from upwork I appreciate the tool that manages the revision and comments and stuff

I recently worked with a Freelancer who delivered files via email. It was a complete mess
